Design

Civilian models of the Consular-class cruiser were used for transportation and were indistinct. The Republic cruiser was equipped with a salon pod that served as a secure meeting area for Republic representatives and leaders of groups in conflict. There was also a variety of salon pods that catered to different alien species. In emergency situations, the entire salon pod could eject from the mother craft, and with its own sensors, life support equipment, and engines, protect the diplomatic crew on board. Although the diplomatic versions were unarmed, various cruisers were modified to have four turbolaser cannons and two concussion missile launchers installed

History

The Consular-class is one of the oldest starship classes still in use. An early version of the ship was built after the Ruusan Reformation and was put into service by 990 BBY. They were created due to budget cuts that required the building of new utilitarian and unostentatious starships; it was that quality of them that attracted the Jedi to their use. Later retro-fits were re-designated such as the Republic Light Assault Cruiser and the c70-Charger-class

The Consular-class cruiser was based on rejected concept art for the Millenium Falcon, which would eventually be modified to become the CR90 corvette Tantive IV. For The Phantom Menace, the Republic cruiser was designed as a "devolved" version of the Tantive IV to provide a link to the original trilogy.
